Statement of future plans?

[musicinmybrain]

Shapely still uses descartes to build its documentation, but the python-descartes package is at risk of being retired in Fedora Linux due to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1907389. I am trying to figure out if there is still an upstream.

Since the old bitbucket site is now only a memory, are there any plans to continue maintaining descartes, here or elsewhere? Or have the authors (understandably) moved on?

for others finding this, the question was also asked over in the Shapely issue tracker - shapely/shapely#1145

While I understand the benefit of descartes being a separate library, it makes sense to me for this to be included within shapely in a similar fashion to how pandas has matplotlib plotting capabilities (where matplotlib is an optional dependency that enables those features).

FYI, this repo is just a fork; the authors (@sgillies) are unlikely to see issues here. Thanks @flutefreak7 for the link.
